For members of the FBI that couldn't make it, ya missed a good un!
Pizza n ZR-1s on the menu and some BSn as well. Bob G :worship: was not only making the pizza, but holding a clinic on rotating mass as it relates to acceleration of the mass of (our) cars. And, as it happened, "Harley Bob" (aka Bob HDZ) had a shiny new Fidanza flywheel there (been teasing me with it for some time). I grabbed it - figure (from what "Pizza Bob" (aka Bob G) told us) I couldn't go wrong. AND, next project (gotta get mine runnin again first) is a "4.10" gear to go with my porting work...It just never ends!:dancing
Kevin wasn't there, but some of us got a peek at his freshly arrived 441 short block. The "FBI" is definitely bulking up to reign terror on the unsuspecting!:dancing And, ya gotta see Dom's new bling (wheels to appreciate how good they look...And, they dooo look good, Dom!
Speaking of wheels, the topic of "best" tires for the track was tossed about. I believe the gist of it was the BFG Drag Radial and possibly the Nitos (sp?) were a consideration for street/strip use, and of course the Hoosiers for more dedicated track rubber.
I'm always humbled by the amount of talent and experience present at these FBI get togethers. The stuff one could learn at each of these meetings would easily fill an addition of "Heart of the Beast". Hope we can do another soon.:thumbsup: Hope some of y'all w/in driving distance can come join us!
